Niyo: Summer sizzle will be a fizzle for cap-strapped Pistons

Auburn Hills — They’re right where we left them, in case anyone was wondering. Right where they left themselves, too, though that’s an argument that Ed Stefanski, the Pistons’ senior executive entering his second offseason in charge of the team’s personnel plan, doesn’t really have to make anymore.

Everyone knows the roster he inherited a year ago and the contracts that came with it. And everyone knows the position that puts him in going forward, at least as long as ownership insists on continuing in that same direction. In a game where flexibility means so much, the Pistons have so little at the moment.
